Fleetwood Mac’s career was saved when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band in the mid-’70s. But according to Nicks, it wasn’t her that the band were initially interested in. She and Buckingham only got the gig because he was such an accomplished guitarist.
In a 2001 interview with Q magazine, Nicks discussed her long and complicated relationship with Buckingham. She talked about how they first met, how they became romantically involved, how they worked together in Fleetwood Mac and how the fallout from their breakup impacted the band’s music.
